OF late q great many tramps have been travel
ing around, pretending not to understand the Eng
fish language, handing you brief to read, making
signs, &C., but do their full share of talking
when necessary. We were awakened out of
sound sleep few nights ago by some one crying
81 am lost" Opening our window we learned
that a man under the influence of liquor had lost
his way, also his hat and could not get his horse
over the fence, and was using much profanity be-
cause he could not find the road. We gave him
hat, put him on the right road, and advised him
to vote the prohibition ticket, &c. He replied
that he would vote anything to rid the country of
whisky. =
